Former scout sues Major League Baseball over minimum wage violations, collusion

Hardball Talk | Jul 7

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Major League Baseball is being sued for underpaying employees in violation of federal labor laws and for colluding in order to keep salaries low and to limit job opportunities.

In the past it was major league players, but they’re now well-paid and normally not colluded against. In the past couple of years we’ve seen multiple lawsuits filed by minor leaguers and stadium employees over their being forced to work for low wages and no overtime.
